[Building Sakai] getting started with... ?

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi David,

Welcome to the Sakai project. You can either take the latest official  
release of 2.5 as a source download from the website, or check out one  
of the branches or trunk from the SVN repo if you are familiar with  
SVN. Check out the install guide for the options (http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Installation+Guide 
).

If you can hold off a few more days you will be able to get an  
official 2.6.0 release from the website.

This page (http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/x/XICrAg) should be your  
launchpad for getting involved with setup and development but I'd urge  
you to have a play with the tools and get a feel for how everything  
works first. You can either do this on your local machine by building  
and deploying, or on one of the nightly build servers here: http://nightly2.sakaiproject.org/

Those nightly servers are rest a few times each day, check the page  
above.

cheers,
Steve
